KBS Espresso (2019)

Stout - Imperial / Double Coffee

KBS gets its coffee fix in the very first variant to come from our beloved bourbon barrel-aged stout. Yes, KBS may already be brewed with coffee, but it gets some extra oomph when it’s aged on espresso beans after being removed from barrels. The result is a fresh and snappy coffee twist on our classic barrel-aged beer. Who says you can’t start your day with a barrel-aged stout

Bottled 11/14/2019. Still loaded with espresso coffee flavor. Mild barrel, somewhat thin when cold. Warming increases the barrel and perceived thickness. Very good.

Nicely aged. Still potent/Bourbon. Espresso beans still there. Chocolate. Roasted malts. Almond. Really needed this. Been some time, Untappd!

Might as well keep the train going since the kids are now remote for the next 3 days 😭 #stoutsunday

Unfortunately time hasn’t done this well. There’s a good roasty sweetness on the nose, but the palate has started to see green pepper peek through. Not gone yet, but the booze and espresso bitterness together prove to be a bit heavy. Does well to warm.

Hadn’t had one of these since I bought last year. Brought one up from the basement today without having any idea of the bottling date. Happy anniversary to this guy.

Bottled 11/14/19 and hidden away in the back of the fridge. Not sure if a year of aging has improved it. Coffee notes are still prominent and a bit harsh. Booziness remains as well. Still very good but not the best of the KBS array.

I worked since 6 am, also fit in snowblowing and shoveling twice. I'm chilled to the bone. Cracking one from the cellar. Coffee and chocolate coming through on this one.

Lite ektoner i doften men mestadels kaffe och mörk choklad. Kaffet dominerar smaken såklart men finns även hintar av choklad. Avslutningen har främst en torr bourbon touch över sig. Bra kropp annars och trevlig krämighet.
